As awards season kicks off, so too does viral, film-inspired merch. While nothing will beat the “Saltburn” bathtub water candle from last year, this year’s innovative cinephile product is a Nosferatu candle holder, whose design casts an eerie shadow of Count Orlok — a perfect piece of decor for Halloween, or a gift for the horror fanatic in your life.

The candle holder, which is selling fast on Amazon, is only $7 on Amazon. The retailer also has other merch and products inspired by the film such as canvas prints and t-shirts.

Robert Eggers’ vampire horror film, which released last month, is a retelling of F.W. Murnau’s original 1922 silent film, starring Lily Rose-Depp as the doomed damsel and Bill Skarsgard as the demonic Spock-eared clown. The film sunk its teeth into an impressive $100 million at the global box office after only 10 days in theaters, a smashing success for an arthouse film.

The film was just as successful with critics. In his review of the film, Variety film critic Peter DeBruge writes that “in re-creating what came before, Eggers is mindful of Murnau’s distinctive style, but is too gifted simply to mimic.”
“Instead,” he continues, “the meticulously detail-oriented director offers his take on the classic, treating nearly every frame as a work of art unto itself, while further embellishing the story’s Romantic aspects — which might have succeeded, if not for the cast.”
The original “Nosferatu” is available to stream on “Philo,” currently offering a 7-day free trial. Meanwhile, the Eggers remake will likely hit streaming services in the month.
